Catullus 13

You will dine well, my Fabullus, at my house in a few days, if the gods favor you, if you bring with you a good, large meal, not without a fair girls and wine and wit and all the laughs; if you bring these, I say, my charming one, you will dine well; for the purse of your Catullus is full of cobwebs. But in return you will receive my love or what is more pleasant and elegant: for I will give a perfume which Venuses and Cupids gave my girl; which when your smell it, you will ask the gods to make you all nose, Fabullus.
